YouTube - The Bride vs The Crazy 88 Fight Is it two movies or is it one? Will volume 3 ever come out? However you feel about Kill Bill and Quentin Tarantino, this is one of the finest fight scenes to come out. They had to make a part of it black and white to avoid the NC-17. The lead fighter was the actual trainer. Feels like they couldn't top the scene when Black Mamba finally faces off against O-Ren. O-Ren has quite the backstory build up, QT even adds more to her backstory in the new The Whole Bloody Affair version. But for whatever reasons, she doesn't put up much of a fight to conclude V1. Everything prior to it though is revenge city. My last Tarantino movie scene on this list. I often have a hard time ranking his filmography. It changes daily. At times I think Reservoir Dogs is my favorite, sometimes it's Django, sometimes it's Inglourious, sometimes it's Pulp. Kill Bill would round out my top five but probably closer to top three. Part 2 is weaker than part ...
YouTube - Caravan Ending Whiplash: A Caravan of Pain, it's a psychological terror of a movie wrapped in drumming. This is J.K. Simmons best character. He's like a dad you really want to please, but you never will. The Inception ending (will the top stop spinning, is it wobbling?) comes down to this smile that Simmons gives. It's either the same fake front he gives this entire scene or it's genuine which is a creepy thing. The Miles Teller vs J.K. Simmons scenes are all rewatchable on their own, but Caravan is extra awesome. "Not quite my tempo" might be the most famous line from the movie. YouTube - Not Quite My Tempo I'm not sold the success of this movie has much to do with Teller specifically due to how well the short film also went. YouTube - Whiplash Short Film And finally, the second scene between the two. Andrew Neimann learns a very painful lesson about going too fast. YouTube - Rushing or Dragging
